General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I work in the civil service and there's this sense that we have to try using gen AI because central government is pushing it as the solution to unlocking productivity and saving the UK economy, even if it's not suitable for our jobs. Of course I ignore it as much as possible, but I have no doubt that some colleagues will outsource their thinking to the computer and end up in situations like this.

Great, LLMs judging humans.
Glad the judge caught it, shame it had to go to a legal human before being actually judged.
Almost like computers can't be help accountable

I wonder which government's Home Office did this: Sunak or Starmer? Both big AI fans, it seemed.
